This sort of thing will be interesting to me once it can be done with fully local and open source tech on attainable hardware (and no, a $5,000 MacBook Pro is not attainable). Building a dependence on yet another untrustworthy AI startup that will inevitably enshittify isn’t compelling despite what the tech can do.

We’re getting there with some of the smaller open source models, but we’re not quite there yet. I’m looking forward to where we’ll be in a year!

In many professions, $5000 for tools is almost nothing.

Yeah, but those tools don't get obsoleted in 3 years.

high end CAD design software, the kind used to design SpaceX rocket engines, costs tens of thousands of dollars per seat per year.
